The third film in the Detective Conan theatrical series, “Magician of the Millennium” (released in 1999), continues to captivate many fans with the magnificent appearance of Phantom Thief Kid and mystery drama set in Osaka. In particular, the famous scene at the beginning of the story where Phantom Thief Kid stands at the very top of Tsutenkaku and proclaims loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen! Now the show begins!” is still talked about today.

In this article, for fans considering a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of “Magician of the Millennium,” we provide thorough explanations of Tsutenkaku and other filming locations and setting spots in Osaka. From actual visiting methods and photography points to surrounding tourist information, this is the definitive guide that comprehensively covers all the information needed for a sacred site pilgrimage.

“Magician of the Millennium” Overview and Background of Why Osaka Became the Setting

Basic Information and Story of the Work

“Detective Conan: Magician of the Millennium” was released on April 17, 1999, as the third installment in the Detective Conan theatrical series. It recorded box office earnings of 2.6 billion yen and is positioned as an important work that established the popularity of the series.

The story begins when a notice arrives that the notorious phantom thief, Phantom Thief Kid, plans to steal the “Imperial Easter Egg,” a relic of the Romanov dynasty owned by the Suzuki conglomerate. Conan rushes to Osaka, reunites with Heiji Hattori, and engages in a battle of wits with Kid.

Why Osaka Was Chosen as the Setting

The fact that Osaka became the main setting for this work is largely related to the presence of Heiji Hattori, the great detective of the west. To comprehensively depict the partnership between the popular Heiji Hattori and Conan from the original manga in the theatrical version, Osaka, Heiji’s hometown, became the ideal setting.

Furthermore, iconic landmarks like Osaka Castle and Tsutenkaku have the visual impact suitable for Phantom Thief Kid’s magnificent heist announcements. The unique atmosphere and culture of Osaka, different from Tokyo, added a fresh charm to the work.

Story Structure and Setting Transitions

“Magician of the Millennium” unfolds in a three-act structure. The first half features the battle of wits with Kid in Osaka, the middle section presents a murder mystery aboard a luxury cruise ship, and the second half contains mystery solving in an old castle, with the setting changing for each part. This structure keeps the audience engaged without a dull moment.

In the Osaka section, many actual structures appear, including Shin-Osaka Station, Osaka Castle, Tsutenkaku, Dotonbori, and the then-Yomiuri Television headquarters (near the Osaka Dome), creating realism and a sense of immediacy.

Tsutenkaku: Thorough Explanation of Phantom Thief Kid’s Famous Scene

Details of Tsutenkaku Scenes in the Movie

Tsutenkaku became the stage for particularly impressive scenes in “Magician of the Millennium.” The crime notice from Phantom Thief Kid indicates the time and location of the crime as Tsutenkaku, serving as the climax of the early part of the story.

The scene where Phantom Thief Kid, under the moonlight with his white cape fluttering, descends to the top of Tsutenkaku’s observation deck and proclaims to the gathered police, media, and onlookers, “Ladies and gentlemen! Now the show begins!” is etched in the memories of many fans as a famous scene symbolizing Kid’s elegance and charisma.

In this scene, not only the exterior of Tsutenkaku but also the surrounding Shinsekai streets and night scenery are carefully depicted, giving the work the unique atmosphere of Osaka’s downtown.

Actual Tsutenkaku: Basic Information and History

Tsutenkaku is an observation tower located in Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, rebuilt as the second version in 1956. The original Tsutenkaku was constructed in 1912 but was dismantled in 1943 after a fire. The current Tsutenkaku is 103 meters tall (108 meters including the lightning rod) and is cherished as a symbol of Osaka.

The observation deck is located 87.5 meters above ground and offers a panoramic view of Osaka City. Additionally, the “Golden Observation Deck” is on the fifth floor, and since 2022, “Tenbou Paradise” at 94.5 meters above ground has opened, offering thrilling experiences.

At the foot of Tsutenkaku lies “Shinsekai,” a thriving entertainment district lined with skewer restaurants and izakayas, with a casual atmosphere. The statue of Billiken-san is also famous, with a legend that rubbing the soles of his feet brings good fortune.
